OK, I'm in. I will probably meet you guys at the camp site (lake Alpine rihgt?) Fri evening...otherwise I'll see you at the trail head around 1030.

Looks like we'll be getting in Friday late as well, maybe 9-10PM to camp and then hit the trail when everyone is ready on Saturday!

I still haven't given up on you! You aren't that capable of a driver without kids!

Oh, now I see it was more than just once!
Dave had me out late one night in Moab trying to figure out how the hell to get back to town. I'm just now getting out of the dog house for that night!

About the Slickrock trip, I'll be leaving Sacramento in a few hours to camp then see everyone in the morning I guess if not tonight!

Had a great time at Slickrock with kidjeep (and company), senor tortuga and his FJ friend. The weather was perfect and the scenery was amazing. Pics to come shortly.

Towards the end of the course, I broke not one but two valve stems (both driver side tires) on the same obstacle luckily only one tire was leaking which we changed out. The valve on my other tire was too damaged to air back up and I ended up driving home at 16 psi crossing my fingers all the way home hoping it wouldn't go flat.

Glad you made it home, I never thought about the fact that you couldn't air back up that front tire!

That trail was still as fun as the first time. Funny that I made it through some stuff in the beginning easier than the first time and harder at the end!

My friend Steve has pictures from our Jeep. I haven't seen them yet.
